You can pre-order through MDE (using a VPN) and pick up at resort. But to be fair I’d wait and buy when you get there.

See more...

Thanks for this

I am a bit of a dinosaur on tech

Why VPN, to show me as ordering from US or other than UK?

Why would you wait until getting there? Better Choice?

Thanks for your help, not being smart with the above responses just keen to know why

Thanks

Thanks

We can’t order via MDE app from the UK so you’re right, via VPN allows you to “be in” the US. If you go on and see what the selection is like currently you’ll have an idea of its worth doing or not. It wasn’t for us when we’d been looking so ordered via another US seller through eBay.
Waiting while you get there might not necessarily give you more choice but to me could be less hassle, but that’s just my opinion. You might see a load that you want and preorder.

I'd actually pre-order a Magic Band on MDE (ordering as linked to your resort stay) - you get a bit of a discount ($10 or $15 per Magic Band can't remember the exact amount) for each Magic Band when pre-ordered linked to a resort stay compared to buying it in a store when you get to WDW.

The selection available does change though!

Many Thanks for these replies

I use bitdefender VPN

I have set my location to Chicago but I still get an error message saying that due to my region I cant buy in advance?

Anyone any idea what the problem is / how to get round it?

Thanks
